Maybe the Pirates can claim him and undo that huge mistake they made letting him go LOL

Murphy to the Cubs is on the Nats' homepage.

How the Rockies didn't claim Murphy is mind boggling.

To play him at first base? They probably feel pretty solid with LeMahieu at second, though he has been a little disappointing.

Too bad they can't fix the actual mistake and get Cole back.

Nah. I guess you thought they were better off trading Meadows, Glasnow and Baz, a top-100 prospect, for the privilege of watching Chris Archer pitch five innings or fewer every turn.

Yes. Right now they have Desmond and rookie Ryan McMahon. Murphy would have made a lot more sense.

I can see that. It's a good question since it would only be a salary commitment the rest of this season.

I presume Andruw Monasterio is one of those prospects who will never ever sniff the big leagues?

 

[John B. Foster]

Monasterio is not a top-30 prospect (by MLBPipline) in the Cubs farm system - which is lousy.

Is Murphy drinking a Guinness during this press conference?

Looks like another rule change is coming

Giants' Buster Posey likely to have season-ending hip surgery
